Saving the Lawyers.

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" This is rather blood- thirsty proposition, which we modify by offering to cure this worthy class of people. Most of them suffer Gin common with nearly all others of sedentary habits), from the injurious effects of dyspepsia, indigestion, piles, loss of appetite, and other ailments caused by constipated habit of the body. Dr. Pierce's " Pleasant Purga- tive Pellets" eradicate all these dis orders in promptly removing the cause thereof, and induce a rare degree of comfort and health.

 "Splendidly, my dear," returned Mrs. Malaprop. "He's the leading salesman in that part of the country" :"

Victory at Last,

Consumption, the greatest curse oi the age, the destroyer of thousands ot our brightest and best, is conquered It is no longer incurable. Dr. Pierce's " Golden Medical Discovery" is a cer- tain remedy for this terrible disease ii taken in time. All scrofulous diseases consumption is a scrofulous affection of the lungs-can be cured by it. Its effects in diseases of the throat and lungs are little less than miraculous. All druggists have it.

The pastor of western church. who has resigned, but has not yet left his field, writes: "We are greatly annoyed by applications of men who want to come, post haste, and preach as candidates. without giving me a chance to retire with proper dignity. It sort of makes one feel blue to re- ceive proposals for his wife before he is yet quite dead."- The .Staadard.

 seem to reach up to grasp the flashing rays. The linnet pipes it's soft notes, and the chattering sparrows cbirp in mirthful glee. But Joe Niven needs them not, as he paces back and forth under the old grape arbor in the gar den. He is thinking-moodily think ing-of day just twelve short months agone, the day upon which the cup of his promised happiness was dashed from his lips and shattered. Look at him now, as he slowly paces-old be- yond his years, almost a physical wreck. Disappointment and dissipa- tion are too plainly written in every lineament of face and form.
 A horseman comes up to the gate and calls. Slowly he goes out to meet him, and is handed note. A glance at the handwriting, and he is all nervousness. Has she called him back :? He can hardly break the seal, but finally his nervous fingers unfold the single sheet, plotted and blurred with tears-sealding tears. He reads
 "MY DARLING JOE: Oh, my God. why did l spurn your words of warn ing and send you from me? have wrecked a noble life and brought shame and disgrace to myself and family. Oh, Joe, loved you always more than I can tell, but that serpent charmed me and compassed my ruin. 1 cannot live through it, and when this reaches you shall be dead-dead, Joe, and may the God of all peace deal leniently with me, for I die by my own hand rather than face the world in disgrace. Forgive me, dear Joe, and remember that my love has always been yours had I only cher ished it as ought.
 "MARTHA MARKHAM"
 "That internal scoundrel shall die 5 said Joe, aloud, when he had read the note the second time, "and by my hand"
 But it was not so ordained. Joe set about the task of finding the hypo- critical preacher, but before he accom- plished that purpose his mind, weak ened by dissipation and breeding over his trouble, gave way, and he became raving maniac and was confined in an asylum, where he shortly died
 The minister, expelled in disgrace from the ministry, took to drink, and at last died in the throes of delirium tremens, despised by his neighbors and forsaken of God.

The alarming disease of this coun- try is nervous debility and prostra- ton. It goes under many nance but it is essentially the same com plaint. Hospitals and private in- stitutions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United States is decreasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our busi- ness, professional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of suicides, committed without apparent reason, or under so-called depression of spirits" are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is 6 fruitful source of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror.
 These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of it's power and prosperity. They wreck man. hoods strength and woman's use fitness and beauty.
 Every one should know the causes. What are theyf The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vic- ious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the : intense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of poverty; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour pleasure or success. So we burn life's candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards.
 The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain English, Nervous Dyspepsia, as~it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Diges- tion, Assimilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or destroyed, the whole body, nerves included, is literally starved; even when there is no cancellation to tell the sad story.
 Nervous prostration sends out it's warnings:-headache in the morn- ing; persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base ofthe brain; wake fitness; loss of appetite and disgust with food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anxiety without any assignable reason; eruc- tations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; pal pitation of the heart; sallowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition.
 The remedy is 8 total abandon ment of the habits and customs which cause the disease in each in- dividual case, and the use of Shaker Extract of Roots (SeigePs Syrup to cure the mischief already done. This great remedy. prepared by the Shaker Community of ass. sast Lebanon, N. Y., is especially adapted to erad- icate Nervous Dyspepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but powerfully upon the disordered stomach, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, promoting the secretion ofbile. expelling waste matters from the system. and puri- fving the blood.

 With heavy sigh, Joe Niven turned and left her standing on the porch. lie wended his way home- ward with heavy heart, for he loved Martha with the full strength of his nature. The only consolation that came to him was that conference was near at hand, and perhaps Mir. Nor fleet would be transferred to some other charge and Martha's love would return to him, if indeed it had been alienated, which he could hardly be- lieve to be true. She was infatuated. he argued--nothing more. If only but ah, he dared not think of the pos- abilities.
 Joe became almost recluse. He ceased to go to preaching, or any where else. Conference met, and Mir. Norfleet was returned to R. cir cult. Joe's hopes sank, and he gave himself up to despair. He went abso- lutely nowhere, and had but few callers, from whom he learned that Martha went regularly to preaching with the minister, asid seldom with any one else.

Lynchburg Falcon: Samuel Smith,
while digging a we'll at Thos. Eggle,
ston's last week, was overcame with
foul gas. The particulars are rather
curious. The well had reached a
depth of twenty-five feet when rock
was struck. While drilling in this he
was suddenly startled by sharp re,
port similar to that Of pistol shot,
and Immediately began to feel the eff
fects of the gas. He called to those
above to draw him up, who obeyed
at once, but before they sould get
him to the top he fell from the box.
1t was two hours before his body was
recovered. He lived half an hour
after reaching the surface.
A sad and distressing accident hap
pened few day ago in the family of
Mr.. Malone Williams, living a few
miles south of town. In his ginhouse
was piled a large quantity of cotton
seed and his children were in the habit
of playing in them. Burrowing like
rabbits the little fellows amused :hem-
selves in this manner. The youngest
of these was little boy about or 4
years of age, and while the others had
gone away, he in some way fell head
foremost into one Of these holes, and
being unable to extricate himself, or
cry for help, slowly sufocatsd to death.
1t is not known how long he was in
this dreadful position, but when found
had in all probabilities been dead for
several hours.-Somerville cor. Mem.

lance in Saratoga in which jew held

Stewart estate. there is more real estate
owned by lsraeites in Saratoga than
by any other class. The result shows
very conclusiyely the long recognized
fact that Israel, as "a race, prospers by
persecution and opposition. Il is tho
one most prominent fact in the history
Of the race.
But it is also apparent that the in

the most profitable that the place has
ever known. Certainly. the Jews have
contributed their share in the success,
for as a rule, they pay well and do not
stint expense where the enjoyment OF
themselves and families is concerned.
There are no "beats" among them,
and a careful inquiry would probably
show that as a class they leave AZ much
money behind them and contribute as
much to the prosperity Of the place as
others.
Next year the famous Grand Union
Hotel will be sold, and il would be

as is not at all improbable, it should
